Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing but I made up the girl. You can take her if you want because she's just going to be those once-in-a-fic people. I made her up in French class right after the test. ^^;

Chapter Two
Cornered
Andrea ran towards the base with Duo following her closely. Suddenly, out of the corner of Duo's eyes, he saw a figure run into the trees. Instintics kicking in once again, he ran after the figure.
Branches and bushes on in his way. Whoever it was moved through the woods like a fish through water. Liquid grace. Duo, on the other hand, was surpised that he was still alive after nearly crashing into a tree. Two years was too much time away from training.
Suddenly, he heard a motorcyle speeding away. KUSO! The person must have hidden a motorcyle in the woods. Now, he or she was making a getaway.
Just when Duo was about to turn back, he caught a glimsph of something, he caught the sight of something. It was a torn green frabic. By some mircle of god, he had spotted it against all the leaves. His eyebrows rose. Only one person surfaced in his mind when he thought of green frabric. Heero. But why would he be doing on this colony? What the hell am I talking about? Why would he even be bombing this place? Anyone could buy a green shirt. Maybe I just miss him a little to much. Two years and Duo still hadn't forgotten about the deadly pilot of 01. His hand clutched onto the piece of frabic. Look at me. Former Shinigami going mushy over a piece of cloth. But in the back of Duo's mind, as he headed back towards the base, were questions about his feelings.
Heero cursed under his breath as he realized his green-tank top was torn. Two years was too much. He realized that he had gotten more careless. So careless that Duo had spotted him and chased him. His hands tightened around the handles of the motorcyle when he thought of the chase. What was Duo doing with the L2 Guards anyway? DuoI don't want to fight you Now, if only the Perfect Soldier could figure out why.
Andrea gave Duo a grim look when the former Shinigami returned. "Six men killed and fifteen others injured. All technicians. Who would want to bomb us?" She said the last part softly.
Duo's hand clutched the green, torn frabric once more. "Idon't know."
Andrea looked at him sadly. "Bad day to join eh? I'll show you to your headquaters once I get the men to the hospital. And the dead"
"God bless them," Duo muttered. "Andrea, have you seen the other gundam pilots around this colony?"
The woman looked at him surprised. "No, why?"
"Just wondering."
It was past midnight and Duo still hadn't got any sleep. Images of the shadow of the person played across his mind. The more he thought about it, the more it looked like a mana boy. Awthe only reason it looks like a guy to me is because I want it to be Heero. Waitdo I WANT it to Heero? If I do, wouldn't I have to fight him? Duo shook his head. What were the chances of it being Heero anyway? He had to quit stressing over things like this. He had to get some sleep. The test for his place in the military was tomorrow.
Duo was jolted up from bed and another explosion was heard in the moblie suits section. "Oh shit, shit, shit," he muttered as he ran out of bed.
He threw some clothes on, grabbed his gun, and ran down the hallway and outside. He stared at the vision he was greeted with. Virgo and Taurus parts were set on fire. Again, he saw a figure out of the corner of his eye. This time, he was not going to let whoever that was get away. He loaded his gun and ran after the person.
Heero pressed the button and blew up the mobile suits, pure hatred surrounding his heart. The family that thought of this was the family that had killed his family. He knew that he was going overboard a little but this was HIS family. He was taken from them and when he tried returning, he found their graves instead. Suddenly, he heard footsteps after him. He was going to kill Andrea Sampson but it looked like his plans were being delayed. Heero found himself doing something he had never done in his life. He found himself praying it wasn't Duo.
Duo ran after the figure. Now, in the very dim light of a hallway, he was sure it was a guy. Duo shot his gun, missing on purpose, as a warning shot.
Heero didn't stop as his chaser fired his gun. He just kept on going as he took out his gun. Suddenly, he stopped and turned around, preparing to fire.
Duo saw the person stop and turn around. He raised his gun, preparing to fire.
They both stopped and stared.
"Heero?"
"Duo?"
"This is NOT good."
"Hn."
A red light was flashing throughout the hallway. Neither of the gundam pilots lowered down their guns. Heero was at gunpoint and so was Duo.
"Heero, what the hell are you doing here? Why are you attacking us?"
"Hn."
Duo felt his anger rising. "The hell Heero! Just tell me a straight answer for once! I mean all those times when I-" Duo cut off, embarrassed.
"When you what?"
"Nothing. Just answer my questions."
"I'm after Andrea Sampson."
"That's nice. But you see, Heero, I can't let you kill her. She's a friend."
"So you're her protector?"
"WellI guess you can put it that way. Like you were Relena'a protector."
Heero growled. "I was never her protecter."
Duo snorted. "Riight"
During the whole converstation, the guns were still up.
Suddenly, Duo tensed up even more. "Heero, the others are coming."
"Are you just going to let me go?"
Duo didn't answer. Heero's right. I have my duty to fulfillbut why don't I want to-
Too late.
The rest of the men surrounded them, holding up their guns.
Slowly, just ever so slowly, Heero dropped his gun and held his hands up.
As Duo watched them arrest Heero, he couldn't help realize the pain in his chest. Why? Why do I feel that I betrayed myself and Heero? I am a L2 Guard. Sowhy damnit?
Heero glanced up briefly and met Duo's eyes. The braided pilot had also dropped his gun. For a moment, Heero thought he saw a tear in one of the corners of Duo's eye.
